[EDM House Network] The Cataracs Are Back With Dev, and It Feels Like 2010 All Over Again

We don’t need a time machine to relive the 2010s because The Cataracs are officially back with new music. After 14 years, the duo has reunited and is set to release “Make Ya Body Whistle” with Dev on February 21, 2025.
For those who grew up on their music, this moment is surreal. The Cataracs were responsible for shaping an era of electronic and hip-hop-infused party tracks that defined a generation. Songs like “Like a G6” and “Bass Down Low” became global hits, introducing millions to their unique production style. The announcement of their return has sparked excitement from longtime fans who never thought they would see another release from them.
A Full-Circle Moment for KSHMR Fans
It is hard to believe that I have been a fan of KSHMR since his early days as part of The Cataracs, and now, after all these years, it feels like everything is coming full circle. Niles Hollowell-Dhar went on to become one of the most recognized producers in electronic music, but his roots were in this duo. Seeing him return to this project brings back memories of an era when their music was everywhere, and it is clear that many fans feel the same way.
The teaser for “Make Ya Body Whistle” suggests that this is not just a nostalgic throwback. The visuals feature futuristic, liquid-metal aesthetics with a whistle at the center, signaling a fresh take on their identifiable and unique sound. Instead of trying to recreate the past, The Cataracs seem to be embracing their evolution while staying true to the style that made them stand out in the first place.
Dev’s Return Completes the Comeback
A Cataracs reunion would not be complete without Dev. Her voice was a key part of their biggest tracks, and her role in this comeback makes it feel like a true return rather than just a one-off release. Over the years, she has continued to build her solo career, but her chemistry with The Cataracs was something that set their music apart. Now, after more than a decade, they are back together and ready to introduce a new era of their sound.
What Comes Next?
With “Make Ya Body Whistle” just days away, there is already speculation about whether this marks the beginning of something bigger. Is this a one-time release, or could there be an entire project in the works?
Regardless of what happens next, the excitement around their return proves how much of an impact they had. Fans who spent the early 2010s blasting their music are now getting to experience a moment they never thought would come. Whether it is nostalgia or curiosity about their next chapter, one thing is clear: The Cataracs are not just back, they are making people talk.
February 21 is going to be a day to remember as we’ll be reliving all our 2010’s vibes all over again!

[EDM House Network] EDC Thailand 2025: A Game-Changer for the Festival Scene in Asia

As someone who’s attended numerous music festivals around the world, my experience at the first-ever EDC Thailand, held from January 17-19, 2025, at Boat Avenue in Phuket, was nothing short of spectacular. I’d heard countless stories from those who attended EDC Las Vegas editions, but nothing could prepare me for the energy and scale of this inaugural event in Thailand.
The Festival Setup: A Visual Feast of Color and Energy
The EDC Thailand 2025 setup was nothing short of spectacular. The mainstage, known as Kinetic Field, was a true centerpiece, bringing back the iconic Kinetic Goddess from previous EDC Vegas editions. The massive stage was beautifully designed, filled with intricate details that made it feel larger than life. Each day, the crowd was treated to incredible fireworks shows, but the highlight came on the final night with a 6-minute spectacle that left the entire venue in awe. The firework display, timed perfectly with the beats, created a striking moment hat captured the essence of what Electric Daisy Carnival is all about: pure, unbridled celebration.
Beyond the main stage, the festival grounds were adorned with various carnival vibes, adding an extra layer of fun and excitement to the experience. A towering Ferris wheel spun above the crowd, offering a bird’s-eye view of the entire event. Nearby, a merry-go-round provided a playful, nostalgic touch, while dancers on stilts roamed the grounds, creating a whimsical atmosphere. At the entrance, dancers playing instruments welcomed attendees, setting the tone for the adventure ahead. These carnival elements made EDC Thailand feel like more than just a music festival, it became a true celebration of culture, fun, and togetherness.
The Music: A Dynamic Mix for Every Taste
The musical lineup at EDC Thailand 2025 was a major highlight of the festival. Each day, the lineup featured a mix of global superstars and rising talents across 5 stages: Kinetic Field, stereoBloom, circuitGround, Bionic Jungle and Boombox Art Car, ensuring that festival-goers were treated to a diverse range of electronic music. While I personally enjoyed performances from Crankdat, Subtronics, Wooli, Rooler, Mish, Hugel, Indo Warehouse (Kahani vs Kunal Merchant), Yellow Claw, Afrojack, R3HAB, The Chainsmokers, and Illenium, it was clear that every act had something special to offer.
Each day’s festival experience was capped off with huge performances that closed out Kinetic Field in spectacular fashion. On the first night, Tiesto took the stage with his iconic blend of progressive house and trance, keeping the crowd hyped until the very end.
Skrillex‘s set on day two was literally fire, with his mind-blowing dubstep drops and unmatched energy igniting the crowd.
The final night saw The Chainsmokers bring a wave of nostalgia with their 2012-2013 hits, taking us back to the golden era of their music, while also keeping things fresh with their newer tracks. Their set was the perfect blend of past and present, leaving everyone buzzing long after they left the stage.
Beyond the headliners, EDC Thailand 2025 offered a fantastic mix of genres and moments to cherish. Rooler, making his first appearance in Thailand, delivered an intense hardstyle set that had the crowd jumping from start to finish. Mish, also bringing hardstyle to the stage, closed out stereoBloom on day one, leaving the crowd hyped up and ready for more. Hugel brought Afro house to day two on StereoBloom, offering a smooth yet powerful groove that got everyone moving. Subtronics took over circuitGround on day one with a spectacular set that was literally fire, capping off the stage with heavy bass drops that echoed through the crowd.
Afrojack and R3HAB brought a sense of nostalgia with their sets, each offering a throwback to the golden era of their music while blending in their newer hits. It was a trip down memory lane for many, especially those who’ve followed their careers for years. But for me, the emotional highlight of the weekend came during Illenium’s set. The atmosphere shifted as he played “All That Really Matters,” a track that got me and my friends deeply emotional. There’s something about the way Illenium crafts his sets that draws people in on a personal level. It was a moment that captured the power of music to connect us all. The vibe at EDC Thailand, in general, was all about togetherness. People from different cultures and backgrounds came together to celebrate music, and it felt like one big, unified community, lost in the beats and the shared experience.
Crowd and Atmosphere: A Global Celebration of Music
One of the most exciting aspects of EDC Thailand 2025 was the incredible diversity of the crowd. Over 60% of attendees were from outside Thailand, with festival-goers traveling from all over Southeast Asia, Europe, and beyond. This created a multicultural atmosphere, bringing together people from different walks of life with one common goal: to enjoy and celebrate electronic dance music. The sense of unity was palpable as everyone seemed to embrace the shared experience, whether they were longtime fans of EDM or newcomers to the festival scene.
The vibe at the festival was filled with energy and positivity. It wasn’t just about the music. It was about the community. From the moment you walked through the gates, you could feel the excitement in the air. The festival grounds were filled with colorful totems, many of which were created by festival-goers to stand out in the crowd. These totems, often adorned with quirky messages or oversized designs, acted as personal beacons, helping friends find each other in the sea of people. They also added a fun, playful element to the festival’s atmosphere, contributing to the overall sense of creativity and individuality that’s so unique to EDC.Every corner of the festival seemed to have something special. Whether it was the elaborate outfits worn by attendees, the vibrant flags and banners waving in the breeze, or the performers on stilts greeting festival-goers, EDC Thailand was a visual feast. The diversity of the crowd, combined with the playful spirit of the festival, made it feel like one big global celebration. There were people of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences, but when the music started, we all became one. The unity and joy were widespread, and it’s hard to imagine any other event that could bring such a wide variety of people together in such an uplifting way.
Final Thoughts: EDC Thailand Sets a New Standard
Looking back at EDC Thailand 2025, I can confidently say that this first edition exceeded all my expectations. From the incredible production and attention to detail to the dynamic range of artists and genres, the event set a new standard for music festivals in Asia. It’s clear that EDC’s commitment to providing a world-class experience for festival-goers, regardless of where they are in the world, is alive and well in Thailand.
The festival brought together not just the music, but a diverse and enthusiastic crowd, creating an atmosphere of unity that’s rare to find. The combination of world-class performances, a vibrant crowd, the carnival vibe, and the stunning visuals made EDC Thailand 2025 feel like something truly special. Whether it was the nostalgia of artists like Afrojack and R3HAB, the emotional connection during Illenium’s set, or the sheer excitement of new experiences like Rooler’s hardstyle debut, it was an event that had something for everyone.
As electronic music continues to grow in popularity across Asia, it’s exciting to think about the future of EDC Thailand. I’m already looking forward to the next edition, knowing it will be even bigger, better, and more unforgettable than the first. EDC Thailand has not only made a mark on the music festival scene but has also contributed to the growing cultural significance of electronic music in Asia.

[EDMTunes] New Google Pixel Besties App Allows Multi-Channel Messaging

Google lovers this is for you!. The company is releasing a new app exclusively for Pixel phones, allowing users to bring together different messaging services. The new Besties app allows users to fuse messages from their contacts, across Google Messages, WhatsApp, and allegedly other messaging apps.
Besties App Messaging
Android Authority revealed the Besties app is coming alongside an upcoming update. It is said that the Besties App keeps a database within Android, which messaging platforms such as Whatsapp can access as well. This is not coincidence, however. WhatsApp’s access is due to a special permit given by Google. This is definitely a collaboration from the two.
This means other apps will need access to Besties’ database. Other services we would like to see in this update are Meta, Discord, or Microsoft Teams. The release of this new system marks yet another win for Google and its mission to centralize communication, making it easier to connect with others. Of course, this would also help the communication between Apple and Android.
Pixel vs IPhone vs Samsung
Google Pixel devices have always been considered “less than” versions of Android. Furthermore, this definitely attracted minimalist customers. Theoretically, Besties allows an user to add all their contacts to the database, and then allow messaging across all platforms. Nevertheless, this is just another advantage Google wants to have. The Google Pixel 9 now has a better competitive chance against Iphone 16 and Samsung S25 phones.
What do you think? Do you prefer keeping chats exclusive to their apps, or do you prefere a centralized approach?

[EDM House Network] The Chainsmokers & Coldplay ‘Something Just Like This’ Hits 3 Billion Streams on Spotify, Marking a Major Milestone

Some songs come and go, but others leave a lasting mark. The Chainsmokers and Coldplay’s Something Just Like This is one of those tracks that people never seem to get tired of. Released in February 2017, it has now crossed 3 billion streams on Spotify, placing it among the most streamed songs of all time. Whether played at festivals, weddings, or quiet nights alone, it continues to hold a special place in people’s hearts.
A Dream Collaboration That Came Naturally
Long before they were selling out festivals and topping charts, Drew Taggart and Alex Pall were massive Coldplay fans. From the beginning of their career, they have spoken about how much Chris Martin and his band shaped their sound. When the opportunity came to work together, it was more than just a big collaboration. It was a moment they had been waiting for.
The way the song came together was just as special. During a session in the studio, The Chainsmokers played a simple piano riff, and Martin immediately started writing lyrics. Within a couple of hours, he had the melody mapped out, walking around with headphones on, completely immersed in the creative process. The result was a song that blended Coldplay’s signature storytelling with The Chainsmokers’ electronic production, creating something that felt both familiar and fresh.
Why This Song Stuck With People
The lyrics tell a story that many can relate to. Instead of searching for perfection or fairy-tale love, it is about finding someone who makes you feel like enough just as you are. That simple idea, combined with the uplifting melody, is what makes the song feel just as good now as it did when it was first released.
Over the years, Something Just Like This has been more than just another song in a playlist. It has soundtracked personal moments, major life events, and unforgettable nights at festivals. For many, it is the kind of track that brings back memories every time it plays.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
Not many songs reach 3 billion streams, and the ones that do are usually the ones that never fade away. This achievement shows just how much people still love and connect with Something Just Like This, years after it first came out.
For The Chainsmokers, this song is a reminder of the band that inspired them from the start. For fans, it is proof that a great song does not need anything over the top to leave an impact. Sometimes, all it takes is the right melody, the right words, and the right moment.
And whether it’s something old, something new, you know that you will always be feeling ‘Something Just Like This’ with a song that will never go out of style.

[EDM.com] Armin van Buuren, Ben Hemsley and Lucy Pullin Unite for ASOT 2025 Trance Anthem, "Is It Beautiful?"

The walls between classic and contemporary trance come crashing down in "Is It Beautiful?," the first-ever collaboration between pioneering producer Armin van Buuren and genre innovator Ben Hemsley.
Together with singer-songwriter Lucy Pullin, they bridge generational gaps while answering their own titular question with a resounding yes. A masterclass in emotional crescendos, the track is out now via van Buuren's Armada label after a teaser in the A State of Trance Year Mix 2024.
The production delivers that signature trance euphoria but with Hemsley's contemporary touch adding extra bite to the low end. Meanwhile, Pullin's vocals float like vapor through the mix, her questioning lyrics echoing the spiritual yearning that defined trance's golden age. When she asks "Is it beautiful?" it feels less like a question and more like a meditation on the genre's evolution.
To that end, the new single marks the official anthem for A State of Trance Rotterdam 2025 and embodies the event's "Transformation" theme, which "celebrates innovation and evolution within the genre," according to Armada. The festival is scheduled for February 21-22 and will feature both Hemsley and van Buuren along with performances by Ferry Corsten, Adam Beyer, Agents of Time, Giuseppe Ottaviani and more.

[GrooveCartel] MEDUZA, MORTEN, and Jauz Breathe remix ‘Forever’

HUGEL and Diplo closed out 2024 on a high note with their infectious afro house collab, “Forever,” featuring sultry vocals from Malou and Yuna. Now, the powerhouse pairing is furthering its unstoppable momentum as they offer up fresh remixes from three of dance music’s major players, MEDUZA, MORTEN, and Jauz. Taking the shape of the official ‘Forever (Remixes),’ the star-studded affair arrives as a joint release between tastemaker imprints, Insomniac Records and Higher Ground.
MEDUZA
MEDUZA’s remix served as the lead offering to create hype around the full-fledged release, preceding the package by a couple of weeks. A masterclass in restraint, their seething reimagining builds anticipation and energy, before ramping up the energy midway through the journey. At the midpoint, the Italian trio shifts gears, peppering in the ruminating hook in perfect measures atop swelling synthetic chords. Layers of organic beauty are implemented into the electronic construction before those two diametric sonics converge into a moody beat decorated with subtle arpeggios and syncopated sound design.
MORTEN
Next up, Danish mainstay MORTEN adds his golden touch to the single. Striking the perfect balance between spellbinding and explosive, the seasoned producer manipulates the mood via a propulsive melodic house & techno framework. Complementing the breathtaking nature of the vocal, MORTEN maneuvers through expertly crafted leads and epic lulls, resulting in a track that lends itself perfectly for open-air festivals and late-night raves alike.
Jauz
Last but not least, veteran producer Jauz takes the release in a whole new direction. Opting to go down a brooding drum & bass route, his version sets off with a sense of enticing mystery. Slowed-down vocals are accompanied by a haunting piano motif, before the energy explodes once the drum breaks enter the soundscape. Then, in a flash, the ringing two-note phrase elevates into futuristic synth riffs, while leaving space for fuzzy bass synths to drive the chord changes and rapid-fire percussion fills.

[EDM House Network] Groove Cruise Miami 2025 – An inside look at the largest music cruise in history 

Whet Travel’s flagship event, Groove Cruise, set sail from Miami on Thursday, January 23, and embarked on a 96-hour, 15-stage marathon of non-stop music and lasting memories. Groove Cruise is a transformational journey at sea. Quite simply, you will be changed by attending. Whether it’s letting loose with likeminded souls who leave their worries and excess baggage at the port, taking a leap and doing something new and outside your comfort zone, or soaking in a genuinely unparalleled musical adventure filled with surprises, twists, and turns – Groove Cruise is an experience like nothing else in the world.   
Here’s a recap of what went down…
Thursday, January 23 
(Day Theme: Represent / Night Theme: Nauti Sleepover)
After a seamless boarding process at PortMiami, Captains (Groove Cruise attendees) entered the promenade of Royal Caribbean’s breathtaking Allure of the Seas to a festive and welcoming atmosphere. Remarkably, 13 onboard stages were built on the first day of the cruise (two more were built on Royal Caribbean‘s private island on gorgeous Labadee, Haiti) — a testament to their professional and dedicated team—so this gave all Captains ample opportunity to get settled, uniquely decorate their staterooms, and catch up with old friends before the programming got underway. And what a way to get things started…making his Groove Cruise debut, Eric Prydz’s sunset set was pure magic as he took over the Aquatheater for a rare intimate performance with the Miami skyline as the backdrop. An incredible 400-drone show delighted the crowd before James Hype B2B MEDUZA hit the stage and drove everyone into a frenzy. Elsewhere, Markus Schulz took over the massive Amber Theater for a marathon open-to-close set that spanned 11 PM to 5 AM; the much talked about 360-degree “Boiler Room-at-sea” type venue Studio B hosted sets from Tita Lau and James Hype while the Solarium transitioned from downtempo and spiritual deep house programming to after hours with the likes of Alley Kay, Layton Giordani, MEDUZA (techno set), Roger Sanchez and Ranger Trucco that kept on going until noon.  
Friday, January 24 
(Day Theme: 50 Shades of Candyland / Night Theme: Stars on Deck)         
Daytime activities are now in full swing, and there’s always something fun and unique to do on Groove Cruise. We start the day with heart-pumping poolside exercise at the Crusher Camp ft. Keith Christopher. Think a certain classic Eric Prydz video comes to life as an inclusive group of captains decked out in neon 80’s style spandex gets the blood flowing with high-energy calisthenics. For those seeking mental nourishment, When The Music Stops hosted The Power of Music Artist Panel, where invited artists shared how music has impacted their lives. Neon Owl presented two of its artist-hosted panels – Behind the Artist, and a Demo Listening Party – offering valuable insights into the electronic dance music industry.  The annual Celebration of Life Ceremony was hosted at the Amber Theater to celebrate our loved ones who are no longer with us. The celebration consisted of a biodegradable wreath and note cards, where participants shared their stories, wrote a message to their loved ones, and put their message in the wreath to be thrown overboard. The day was rounded out by fun artist-led activities and hosted dinners, leading to an incredible night of music programming. Highlights include a surprise appearance from Gabriel & Dresden in the Promenade, Blastoyz B2B Markus Schulz at the Amber Theater, Ranger Trucco B2B Joshwa in Studio B, pool deck DJ sets from the likes of It’s Murph and Alley Kay, the Taking Back Emo and old school Hip-Hop parties and a 5-hour sunrise set from Anthony Attalla, which led into an early morning set from Gene Farris to keep the music going and going.     
Saturday, January 25 
(Day Theme: Tropic Like It’s Hot / Night Theme: Only Farms)  
So you were up all night watching the sunrise? Don’t worry; today is a beach day. Royal Caribbean‘s private island on gorgeous Labadee, Haiti, is the backdrop, and stages set up on two different beaches provide the music backdrop to this living painting. Whether it’s zip-lining over the crowd in a floating bar, dancing with your new besties in your overwater cabana while grooving to the music of Anabel Englund, Bunt, and Nilsix, or simply lounging at the shore, this is the perfect way to kick off day three. Back on the ship and with the planets aligned for the first time in billions of years, we knew we were in for something special. The music programming was simply stunning, featuring jam-packed Aquatheater sets from Seven Lions and Blastoyz that led into the surprise reunion of Seven Lions and psytrance duo Dimibio’s Abraxis side project that had the crowd losing their minds. Back inside the ship, pop-up elevator parties were the perfect pregame to high-octane sets from Pretty Pink, Jeremy Olander, Yotto, Layton Giordani, and Nicole Moudaber as we reveled until dawn yet again.   
Sunday, January 26
(Day Theme: Neon Splash / Night Theme: Realm of Enchantment) 
The last full day on Groove Cruise. It’s been all a blur in the best possible way. You know what they say: time flies when you’re having fun. This trip felt like it went by at the speed of light. The daytime programming is on point with many artist-led activities ranging from Slots and Blackjack tournaments to blindfolded yoga with Yotto and mini golf with Nilsix. There’s truly something for everyone. It’s a chill vibe, and for good reason, tonight’s musical programming is a tour-de-force of B2B sets—an absolute dream for dance music lovers. The Aquatheater went hard with Aimmia B2B Max Low, Anthony Attalla B2B Gene Farris, Joshwa B2B Odd Mob, Christoph B2B Yotto, Layton Giordani B2B Nicole Moudaber, and Roger Sanchez B2B Nicole Moudaber B2B Kristen Knight, while Studio B featured Anabel Englund B2B with Deeper Purpose. Ophelia Records took over Amber Theater for a massive closing party featuring artists including Mitis, Seven Lions, Blastoyz B2B Trivecta, and a unique family set featuring all seven Ophelia artists who performed on stage this evening.   
Monday, January 27
Is the party over? Nah, it’s 3 AM, and there are still a few more hours before we get off the ship. You never know what you’ll run into on Groove Cruise, and when the opportunity presents itself to attend a suite party on the 17th floor, we’re all in. Deeper Purpose and Joshwa bring in the PA and throw down an impromptu B2B “suite set” as we traverse the high seas en route to Miami while Roger Sanchez Classics set rounds out the emotional tracks that got many of the GCFAM hooked on dance music—one final sendoff to a magical experience on Groove Cruise 2025. 
Groove Cruise Miami 2025 achieved its greatest philanthropic impact yet through the Whet Foundation’s Destination Donation Initiative. Aid reached communities affected by hurricanes on the East Coast, wildfires in California, and malnourished children and expecting mothers in Haiti. Donations included hundreds of mattresses, bedding, and nonperishable goods for displaced families, as well as clothing, medical supplies, and technology to support Haiti’s newest maternity center. Groove Cruise continues to prove that, with the support of the Whet Foundation, music, and the community can create lasting change.
“When I started Groove Cruise 21 years ago on credit card debt, I had a dream to one day charter a ship this big, but I never knew the transformational impact it would have on so many lives—with the planets aligning for the first time in billions of years while we were at sea, meaning that the 2025 experience was going to be deeper and more impactful than ever before. Nearly everyone’s expectations were shattered by the music, the production level, including an insane drone show, but most importantly, the people and vibe. I’ve never seen so many people being free, spreading so much joy and love, and we’ve never had so much positive feedback. It was a floating utopia. I am so grateful to our incredible team who could not have possibly poured more of their heart and soul into this experience, the incredible artists, and the Royal Caribbean team. It took two years to create this GC, and for 2026, we will level up once again on the even bigger and more luxurious Wonder of the Seas as we delve deeper into the impact Groove Cruise has on the lives of each captain and in turn, their friends, family, jobs, and communities back home. That’s the Groove Effect, and it all starts with a ripple started by the captains who sail on Groove Cruise.” – Jason Beukema, CEO and founder, Whet Travel/Groove Cruise 
While Groove Cruise 2025 is now a lifelong core memory for thousands, the 2026 installment of Groove Cruise is on sale and already 91% sold out, with all suites and most categories gone. Sailing from January 22-26, 2026, Groove Cruise will take place aboard Royal Caribbean’s colossal Wonder of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship by staterooms, offering a transformational journey at sea once again, elevating the festival to new heights with unparalleled luxury, adventure, and world-class entertainment, with 96 hours of non-stop dance music across 15 stages, 100+ world-class DJs and producers, and much more. Making her debut in 2022, The Wonder of the Seas features eight unique neighborhoods, each offering a distinctive vibe, and is home to over 40 bar & dining experiences. 
Notable highlights include the brand-new Suite Neighborhood, a Royal Caribbean first, offering an exclusive, elevated space for captains seeking luxury and privacy. Featuring the Celestial Suite, this exclusive, luxurious suite redefines opulence, providing the perfect haven for a group of up to 10 Captains seeking the ultimate Groove Cruise experience. Featuring a private plunge pool, a fully stocked bar, a slide, and an expansive living area, this suite offers an unmatched level of comfort and privacy while personalized butler service ensures every need is met. For those craving a taste of Southern comfort, the Mason Jar restaurant and bar serves up Southern staples and new twists on classics, perfect for brunch, dinner, or late-night cravings. Captains can race down the tallest slide at sea, The Ultimate Abyss, the FlowRider surf simulator, twin rock climbing walls, The Perfect Storm, a trio of high-speed waterslides, a 10-story-high zip line and the Central Park neighborhood lined by more than 20,000 natural plants.

[Decoded] FABRICLIVE announce first ever artist release, by SULLY

25 years-deep at the forefront of soundsystem culture, via their legendary Friday night dances and DJ mix series, the iconic FABRICLIVE welcomes a new chapter, with their inaugural artist release, by Sully.
A perfect representation of the label’s renewed vision, and a key landmark in the continuum, ‘Model Collapse’ sonically mirrors both FABRICLIVE’s rich history and new vision, reaffirming their position as an essential platform for cutting-edge bass music.
Continuing an impeccable run of bar-raising releases by Sully, with ‘Model Collapse’ the Norwich don yet again demonstrates why he’s at the top of his game, with two laser-focussed jungle/d&b weapons. Influenced by his formative years on the free party scene, the intensely vivid title track ‘Model Collapse’ merges caustic acid tekno with techstep depth, sharp gritty beats and classic low-end wobble.
An exercise in tone, pitch and harmonics, the warped synths, processed voices and masterful drumwork of ‘The Wash’ highlight an artist deep in the zone, manipulating sounds with a maverick midas touch.
Described by DJ Mag as “one of jungle’s brightest stars” and as “a driving force in the evolution of jungle” by Clash, Sully is an original, forward-thinking innovator, who transcends the pastiche of rave revival. He has released hugely popular, game-changing tunes on labels including Rupture, Over/Shadow, Keysound Recordings and Astrophonica.
The EP comes as a bespoke vinyl edition, featuring a striking picture disc and hand-etched design, pressed on heavyweight wax, mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis and manufactured by The Vinyl Factory. The artwork comes courtesy of John Karborn, a London-based artist, on whom Sully comments, “we have a few projects under our belt now and I’ve always enjoyed the process. He’s a dynamo of ideas and I’m never quite sure where they’ll lead, which is 99% of the fun with this stuff. Conversely, FABRICLIVE is a new partnership for me but it’s clear we are on the same page in terms of trying something a bit different and being a bit ambitious with the presentation.”
With over 25 years at the apex of the UK’s deeply influential, multicultural underground, FABRICLIVE continues to thrive, championing jungle, drum & bass, grime, garage, footwork, amapiano, dubstep and beyond. The next party comes on Friday 14th February, featuring Conducta B2B Special Request, La La, Ghoulish, Silva Snipa and The Menendez Brothers.
Since its inception in 1999, FABRICLIVE has hosted sets by luminaries including Andy C, Goldie, DJ Hype, LTJ Bukem, Calibre, Skream, Mala, Loefah, DJ EZ, Slimzee, Oneman, Four Tet, Aphex Twin, Hudson Mohawke and Flying Lotus. FABRICLIVE’s seminal mix series ran from 2001 until 2018 and included sets by Fabio, Grooverider, Marcus Intalex, dBridge, David Rodigan, DJ Marky, Pearson Sound, Pinch, Ben UFO, Pangaea, Elijah & Skilliam, Kahn & Neek, Special Request, Midland, Kode9 and Burial. Back with a bang for 2025, FABRICLIVE re-enters the fabric Records fold, which also incorporates Houndstooth and fabric Originals.

[Decoded] Seminal UK label 20/20 Vision celebrates 30 years of underground electronic music

Started in a farmhouse studio outside Leeds by Ralph Lawson & Carl Finlow, 20/20 Vision has gone on to be one of the most respected electronic music labels on the planet with a consistent output over three decades approaching 500 releases and 2000 tracks.
20/20 Vision was chosen as the label name for its meaning of ‘perfect vision’ being applied to music at a time when the house music scene was becoming divided into ever smaller categories. Anti-genre has been at the heart of the label, always bringing an array of eclectic flows, styles and sounds with an artist-focused approach.
Fast forward thirty years, the seminal record label now presents, Full Circle featuring highly sought rarities from the imprint sitting alongside new remixes, edits and unreleased versions. Full Circle Volume 1, which is out digitally on Feb 17th, features classics from Christian Löffler, Tuccillo, Art of Tones & the first ever 20/20 Vision record produced by Wulf n Bear – this first release simply features four classic moments in time.
Christian Löffler has become a major name in melodic techno and ambient music. His 2015 track York quickly became a club favourite, its melancholic theme and sparse arrangement standing the test of time. Tuccillo has delivered several key records for 20/20 Vision, but Sabotage remains a standout, its nostalgic melodies seamlessly following York, evoking a sense of nostalgia that touches the heartstrings.
Art of Tones, the beloved project of Ludovic Llorca, debuted on 20/20 Vision with a string of superb releases, culminating in Praise. A club staple since 2007, it remains an anthem for Honey Dijon, championed in her DJ Kicks compilation for K7. Full Circle Volume One is completed by 20/20 Vision’s original debutant Wulf n Bear – Space Groover. Fresh as it was 30 years ago, its playful fusion of New York beats, Detroit-influenced strings, and Yorkshire bass—enhanced by Carl Finlow’s swirling synths—cements its place in every electronic music lover’s collection.  
20/20 Vision’s legacy of unforgettable events continues to grow, having already left its mark over the years on iconic dance floors—from Robert Johnson and fabric to Space Ibiza, Sub Club, Sonar Festival and beyond. There will be a series of Full Circle events taking place globally throughout the year including tour dates from South Africa to South America, Europe to Asia and many places in between with the next dates confirmed: 
March 1st 2025 // HIFI Leeds: Radioactive Man LIVE AV, Freakenstein, Ralph Lawson x Exit Planet Earth

[EDM House Network] Mike Galvin Unveils ‘Rubber Heart, Iron Soul’ with LVLD Music

Mike Galvin returns to LVLD Music for the 2nd time with his brand new single ‘Rubber Heart, Iron Soul’, delivering a moody and energetic sonic experience. This track immerses listeners into a hypnotic soundscape built on granulized synth textures, a resonant and powerful bassline, and an unrelenting rhythm that forgoes traditional build-ups and drops. Instead, Mike Galvin crafts a mesmerizing flow designed to draw listeners into a deep, trance-like state with each replay. The tension between ethereal sleekness and shadowy, hopeful aggression defines the track’s unique allure.
Looking ahead, Galvin continues to push expressive electronic compositions forward, with more solo releases on the horizon and exciting collaborations in the works. Notably, he is set to team up with UK vocalist Natalie Holmes, promising a fusion of his signature production style with her evocative voice.
Mike Galvin’s musical journey began with classical training before he found his way into Dublin’s underground rave scene in the 2000s, following a stint in indie bands. His diverse influences include jazz improvisation, epic film scores, and the raw energy of Berlin and Detroit’s house and techno movements. After relocating to Toronto in 2015, Mike Galvin expanded his creative reach, playing session guitar on releases and remixes for Canadian artists like Sophia Danai and composing film scores, including the award-winning Irish short film ‘A Silence Between’.
Today, his music captures both the introspective nostalgia of post-rave solitude and the deep emotional connection of communal dancefloor experiences. As he continues to evolve, Mike Galvin remains committed to crafting immersive soundscapes that resonate with both heart and movement.
Stay tuned for more from this dynamic artist as he continues to shape his ever-expanding sonic universe.
